I’m about to start a new job working in an arcade and diner and want to wear some earplugs for when I’m working in the noisiest parts on-site, partly to protect my hearing but also to make it easier to hear customers and colleagues over the noise.

Do you guys have any recommendations for brands or particular earplugs types that would be good for this purpose?

    -33 dB foam inserts, plus - 33 earmuffs as long as you don’t need to hear

    If you do, get some quality electronic muffs from Honeywell/Howard Leight or Walker.

      I frequently move between very loud and quiet environments at work while needing to communicate with people. I highly recommend a comfortable pair of electronic ear muffs. Both Walker and Howard Leight make good pairs that won’t break the bank. If the battery dies, you just don’t get the “passthrough” effect and they’re just traditional ear muffs.
